Ramblings of a Suburban Mom

Today I’m smiling because:

~WB woke up around 9pm last night in an exceptionally good mood.  He watched a little bit of L’s movie with him and then craziness enthused.  B and I were cracking up watching the two of them run around and just be crazy little boys.  So entertaining!

More Holiday pjs!

~After complaining earlier in the week about how B watched it without me, we both watched The Internship last night.  It was totally my kind of movie and I loved it.  And I loved that B watched it with me.

~I’m done with my Christmas shopping for WB (unless I can find a hugging elmo on the cheap) and B and have various teacher gifts and other gifts already taken care of as well. I’m feeling good!

~B doesn’t know it (yet), but we’re taking the boys to our local outdoor mall tonight to see the Christmas light display.  They are going to love it and I can’t wait to see their faces.  It’ll be totally new to WB and L will be thrilled to see them.

~I was pleased to learn yesterday that L’s school does the Pledge of Allegiance every morning at school.  I had just assumed, for whatever reason, that this was a thing of the past in school.  I am happy to learn that it is NOT! I made L say it (it needs some work) and of course, WB had to photobomb him ;).

~Ahhh, my Neiman Marcus PopSugar box is coming TODAY!  I’m like a kid on Christmas morning.  Cannot wait!  A few other boxes should also be appearing, but I am planning on spending my morning looking out the window for the FedEx lady ;).

~My Spark arrived and I am happily packing up and shipping out mixed Spark boxes to everyone that ordered!  If you still want one, let me know, I have more Spark coming next week. You’ll get 16 packets total (just like if you ordered a box online), but instead of just one flavor, you’ll get two packets of six of the flavors and one packet of two of the flavors (there are eight flavors total). It’s $22.95 (just like online) plus shipping.

Spark!
Spark!

~My fabulous neighbor found me winter boots for WB!!  And they were on clearance!  Size 4 boots are not so easy to come by and you know there is no way WB is staying indoors all winter.  Not happening.  Thank you Krystal!  Now come on snow!

~It’s Starbuck’s “Share Joy” weekend.  I am looking forward to heading there this afternoon (and maybe tomorrow too) for some BOGO drinks!

That’s it from here!  What’s got you smiling today?  Any big plans for the weekend?

    I have recently fallen upon your blog and boy am I happy! I now look forward to see what is going on! Thank you for what you do, I am still discovering and learning and really enjoy it! Thanks 🙂

    I am also expecting my Neiman Marcus PS box, I hope Fed ex gets here soon!!

    1. Jennifer

      Mine isn’t here yet! Hurry up FedEx!!!

    My NM box is out for delivery too! I was sure it would come when I was out for brunch and a workout with a friend (I didn’t think she would think waiting for FedEx was an acceptable excuse – but FedEx won’t leave at the condo without me here so I thought it would be, but she didn’t let it fly). Anyway – just got home and no FedEx yet – yeah!! But, it can get here RIGHT NOW and I wouldn’t complain……waiting, waiting, waiting……

      Here! Got blue, blue and blue for color variations. So far, loving the necklace MUCH more than I thought I would – had a gold necklace on and it makes a perfect layering necklace. I really wanted the gray throw to use in my living room – but realized my guest room was next on my list and guess what – navy is the color in there. Perfect!! Only thing I’m not sold on are the plates, just not in my color scheme for the kitchen — not sure what I’ll do with those. I’m very happy! Happier than I thought I would be….

        EEEk!! Mine came a little bit ago. I was so excited to open it. I got a navy throw, navy plates and a green zebra dish!

      I’d love to try and explain to someone why I couldn’t go anywhere becuase I needed to wait for fedex. LOL!!!

    i’m so jealous you are done with wb’s shopping by boys are close to your sons age 5 and 1 and 1/2 and i have no clue on what to get my youngest. i feel like we have every toy under the sun

    1. Jennifer

      I picked up some green toys stuff and a train set which I know he will like. It’s hard because we have so many toys from my older son, but if I don’t get him stuff I know my 5 year old will wonder why Santa didn’t bring his brother anything!

    We said the pledge all the way through high school here, and I just tried saying it, and couldn’t finish it. 7 years is apparently enough time to forget something like that. …. Oops.

    1. Jennifer

      LOL. I had to google it to make sure I had it right.

  6. Jennifer

    I would love to get a spark mix box!

    1. Jennifer

      I will e-mail you!

    Sorel boots are the best!! They seriously last forever…no kidding my grandma has had the same pair for over 10 years and they are still in mint condition.

      I hope WB’s feet grow eventually! LOL!! I REALLY like bogs, but they don’t make them in WB’s size.
